The week before the outing with the NYC Urban Sketchers to Central Park’s Bethesda Fountain found me in the city every day except one. I kept spotting wonderful sketch-worthy building details but the timing was always wrong or they were too high and required lengthy and painful neck craning. While in the park I noticed these bas reliefs which were at eye level – perfect and interesting at the same time – so I sketched and listened to a group of gospel singers.
